DelftX: Circular Economy: An Introduction: This 7 week online course is led by University Delft and co-designed by Ellen McArthur Foundation. You need ca. 3-5 hours per week. It is cheap, flexible and really interesting. There are other Tedx classes by Delft University which can be taken subsequently. Our colleague Anja recommends it highly for everyone who wants to gain a basic understanding.
